DOOR OPENING REINFORCEMENTS.
To ad rigidity and strength around the bottom corner of the door openings, an added
lamination of glass ply reinforcement is recommended. While this is not a flight safety
item, these added tarps will reduce cabin shake during engine starting and idle. This will
also add significant stiffening in case you have a similar unfortunate incident, like the
prototype Pre Cruiser’s Christmas tour, which ended up on the roof after an engine failure
and forced landing in a muddy field.
To maximize the effectiveness of this lay-up, bridge the end of the top stiffener
“hat”section, and the bottom of the fuselage longitudinal “rail” with scrap foam and dry
MICRO. Use a generous fillet (miniature size) at any angled intersections. Make up a
BID four pre-lam layers about 5 centimeters wide and about 8 centimeters high, and apply
to each of these four locations (see sketch)
AIR INSTALLATION STRUT
Locate the air brackets (to keep the doors open) and brackets provided in the kit,
and assemble as shown in the sketch. Mock up the assembly carefully to ensure that the
air strut’s stroke gap will not be used until without proper positioning of opening the door,
and that adequate clearance and that between all components during operation.. It is
suggested that you mark the screw locations for the top strip on the fuselage door frame
flange and add approximately a 2 inch wide by 6 cm long 2 ply BID gusset to the inner
surface to harden this mounting area. Drill and recess for mounting with 2 #8-32 flathead
screws and nuts. The hat section of the door panel was reinforced earlier, and these
brackets can be directly mounted.
